| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 I dunno.The guy told me that he got it from Nelson, and I would have expected that everything needed would have been with it. The exhibit was from the maker of the speaker system, so I don't think that anything would have been left out internally,... | |
| What makes a speaker perform well at low volume? As a single-driver speaker user, I can tell you that this is a very careful path to walk, if you want to really get what they are capable of. The entire system needs to be of a caliber that will work best with these types of speakers.Basically, yo... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 I heard one at the T.H.E. Show a couple of weeks ago, in a room with Lowther Academy speakers, run with an analog(VPI) front end.Frankly, I wasn't impressed, and apparently neither was the exhibitor, because the next time I went back into the room... | |
| dbx Expnders - 3bx, 5bx Every DBX unit I ever heard, made a "breathing" sound that was audible, while it did its thing of expansion.Not for me, thanks. | |
| Super long speaker cables Pabelson, apparently it was not known by Mr. Russell.I was attempting to not appear "heavy handed" in my post.A couple of references like "now known", and "time marches on" hardly accounts for an "astounding re-write of engineering history". Perha... | |
| Super long speaker cables I just read the pages on Roger Russell's website.I'm sure that he's a very nice man.However, the data from 1983, and the testing methods used(with other "heavy" cables in the signal path between the relays and the speakers), and the wires being te... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? It may be noted that the early Levinson phono stages were designed by John Curl, and are still sought after by audiophiles, even after 20 years have gone by since they were made. I haven't listened to any of the late model Levinson phono stages, s... | |
| Wiring Assignments for Denon DL103R...Grovel Typically, there are little R and L markers for Right and Left channel, and there are little + and - markers for hot and ground on each channel, molded on the back end of the cartridge body, near the pins that they correspond with.The wiring assig... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? The higher gain is the MC board, and the lower gain is the MM board. The 38db or 58db relates to phono section gain only, and the linestage also has a gain figure(typically between 10db-20db). The phono gain and the linestage gain are added togeth... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? 100 ohms is a fine place to start the loading on the phono stage for a Denon 103R.You might do some experimenting with + or- about 20% from there, to see how you like it.It sounds to me like the phono gain is a little bit low, based on your descri... | |
| THE05: Dynamic Contrasts: comments I also thought that this was a beautiful display of gorgeous wood racks.It was also probably in the most highly-trafficked and visible location at T.H.E Show.An excellent entry into the field of high-end racking systems.Also, John is an all-around... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat, if anyone can beat the odds, it's you.I think she was 100% correct when she said that you have what it takes. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I don't have any digital rig.I listen to digital in the car, or in my fiancee's home theater system.When I want to sit down and really do some serious listening(which is the only time that I turn my sytem on), I play vinyl only. | |
| Monitor suitable for wall placement at $400 used? Linn Kan are made to be used against the wall.Probably would make a good match with the Arcam too. | |
| CES 2005: Who had the best bang for the buck room? We could have used a $3k turntable, and had better sound, and would have been in a very affordable range, as high end systems go.However, we realized that most people use CD, and want to hear demos with the format that they most commonly use, so w... |
